Back in April the NPR Show "Studio 360":http://www.studio360.org/episodes/2008/04/04 did a story on the emerging number of bands from Sweden who are making waves in the American music scene. I have also started to run into people who profess that they are fans of Swedish Pop Music. Now I have been following the music coming out of Sweden (along with Finland and Norway) for about the last 10 years and don't know if it's fitting or if it's just following the rule that it takes 10 years for the world to catch up to what's going on but the pop, punk, metal and rock exports from the land of the midnight sun are starting to get their due....Honestly as I have written about several times here my interest is in the harder rock and roll part of the scene, but that's not to say that I don't also dig the odd pop ditty or the thundering heavy metal rumble.So here is the question-Swedish Pop- fad, overblown, just getting press, or is this the future of music? Also what's the Swedish Group that you are digging?Ok here are some links to info on swedish music."Music of Sweden from Wiki":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Sweden"Hello!
